Herbs to your rescue

Brahmi in tetrapacks is the latest in urban health shops. For centuries, the herb has been used in ayurveda as a memory and concentration enhancer. Now, scientists say the herb can calm the mind and bring down stress. As a result, Brahmi is also being used to lower blood pressure in hypertensive people. It rejuvenates nerves and brain cells and plays a crucial role in cognitive disorders linked to ageing.
